It's not like we've been asking for a halftime show like 2k5's for the past 5 years. We ask and beg them to put it in every single year, and every single year it's not done.

What did you expect us to say?

You can skip through it. No problem with it being more in-depth when people can skip it if they want. Like I will be skipping this junk this year.

I gotta agree..thats a pretty "barebones" half time show...on the flip side, atleast they are "trying" to address the half time stuff..it just needs more real-life feel to it..much more, hopefully madden 2011 will change that... im more concerned with the presentation before game and during game..to me thats the most important thing to me as far as presentation..although a more robust half time and post game show would be a HUGE addition..im referring to REAL commentary backed shows not some silenced show of a few snippets of video and thats that

What the hell was that? There is no commentary and bland. Man, at least u can have some people talking about the highlights. EA is improving there presentation for sure, but this will not surpass 2k5.

Me neither. I could understand if we were shown this 3 months ago, but with just over a month before the game goes gold...yikes.

Since when did EA Sports start broadcasting the NFL? I'm sick of seeing EA sports all over everything. Why not use sportscenter or fox or nbc? It's like they're trying to advertise their company while you're playing their game, I don't understand this at all. And since this is an "EA Sports broadcast" then wtf are Collinsworth and Hammond doing there... why not have Ian and Phil do the commentary?

They have the ESPN license, but you wouldn't know it by playing the game.

It's almost as if EA is just sitting on the ESPN license so no one else can have it.

The length is fine, but the lack of commentary on the highlights really kills it for me. And the angles on the replay don't look good either.
